| − | Peano's axioms are categorical, that is, any two systems <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/p/p071/p071880/p0718809.png" /> and <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/p/p071/p071880/p07188010.png" /> satisfying them are isomorphic. The isomorphism is determined by a function <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/p/p071/p071880/p07188011.png" />, where

| − | ====Comments====
| |
| − | The system of Peano arithmetic mentioned at the end of the article above is no longer categorical (cf. also [[Categoric system of axioms|Categoric system of axioms]]), and gives rise to so-called non-standard models of arithmetic.
